35

 

I'm 27

and MLE is 27...we are one month to the day apart

our minis took delivery 3 days apart...awwww can I go throw up now

 

57, gonna be 58 next month. I can't believe it. I still feel like I'm 20. Drive like it too.

 

Geez, it looks like I'm the senior guy on this thread. I went through it twice.

64. Medicare in April. hmmm.

Over 60 vehicles over the years.
Started with a '35 Ford flatback 2D, the original PT Cruiser.
Then I got a '36 Ford same body, and a '36 Ford 3 Window coupe with a rumble seat. I had 'em all at the same time with '36 Ford 4D sedan for parts. You could buy these for $50-$150 in the mid-1950s. All were really fine cars. The windshields cranked open for ventilation and the 3-window had a crankdown rear window so you could talk to the people in the rumble seat. Most Ford parts were interchangeable from 1932-48. In the 60s I got into small cars, Fiat 500s, 600s, an Isetta, 55 Chevy, 56 Ford pickup. Many VW bugs and buses, a Triumph TR4-A. Fun years. Now, my first MINI. Really fun. Like starting over.

BTW, none of these early cars had seatbelts. The airbag was sitting next to you.

 

53....adding 05 CS because I can't drive my 125 shifterkart on the road...

 

36 years old - 15mph average over speed limit = 21.

That's my theory, anyway.

 

I am an amazing 52...thats what some of my friends from the fast days say. In my teens and early twentys I did very brisk driving when ever I could get away with it. They are amazed I am still alive. I have slowed down a lot, older eyes and slightly slower reaction time coupled with more crowded roads dictate reduced speeds. I still like to drive briskly, and very briskly if I am on a track.

 

Dude, you're old.

I'm almost motormad's age, sweetie! Am I old, too? Hmmmm?

No, no, no, not at all, :smile:MINIclo:smile:

On a serious note, I consider one to be old when one is dead. Until we're six feet under, there is so much to do, talk about, love. I know ~ real corny but I'm Corn Dawg #1

Oo.. was I supposed to list my cars?

In my just barely 27 years...

95 Nissan 200SX SE
97 Honda Civic EX (2 dr, 5spd)
04 MCS

 

I'm 46 going on 17.


Cars? Too many to list. Besides, I already listed them in another thread.

 

I just listed them so everyone could see the "progression" over the years!

At 47, if I manage another 47, that would be livin' to 94... I like the sound of that! So, as I do with my laps when I run each morning, here at the half way point I'll start counting down: Next birthday I'm 46!!!!

Godspeed.

 

51 and still having too much fun to stop...

Too many past cars to worry about...

'03 MCS Wh/BRG - too sweet...

 

What is with that face?? I'm going to be 64 in less than one month and I love my MCS. Best car I've ever had.

im sorry, but you got a problem with me just say it, you got a problem with me and others whose cars are not paid by them then say it... don't tip-toe around the edges trying to make yourself sound all mighty! ... i dont understand exactly what's your point... if according to you i am the worst person in the world, no better than kids 18 and got their spanking new M3s their parents paid for him cuze he got 1300 in his sats?? and gets 60k a month from his parents back at home who works their butts off so their kids can **** away their money into one of those street racing cars>? then crash their car and can ask their parents (ma i just crashed my car, can i get a new one?)

i did NOT ask for compassion... i certianly did not want compassion from others... i've been flamed before for it (and now you did).... i know you wills ay something along the lines of 'you do not deserve a car cuze you are just a f**king kid who got by life easy cuze your parents have the dollars.... i have to MAKE EVERYTHING TO WHAT I AM TODAY' or something along those lines... you want to say it? just say it... don't say all this stuff of how you want to vomit and then go on to say 'ooooo, so you have to pay for gas, oh no....' why say that? just say the above which basically says 'you sir, do not deserve a car ever!'

come on, just say it... what's stopping you? huh???

now, everything aside tho... i am really happy you made to who you are today... i may not and may never be able to.... i love people who can make from nothing to everything all by him/herself... i cannot, but that doesn't make me a bad person

 

Maybe it's me...but where is this coming from? ...misplaced thread response?

I agree with an earlier post...it is great to be so young AND have the cool car! No one has the credentials to judge you based on internet posts unless of course they have met you in person
